Video Script Structure and Retention Audit
Check a script for a strong opening and a clear payoff.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Audit a video script. Script text with timings: [VIDEO_SCRIPT]. Audience and platform: [AUDIENCE_AND_PLATFORM]. Retention graph notes if available: [RETENTION_NOTES]. Check the first ten seconds for the promise, whether the payoff arrives, pacing, repetition, jargon, visual variety implied by the script, mid-video recaps, and the ending. Identify places where viewers might leave and what to do about each. Calculate words per minute from the script and timing. Return a table with Time, Observation and Fix, a revised opening of under 40 words, and three alternative titles that match the content honestly. Add a worked timing analysis with invented numbers. Script of 1,950 words and a runtime of 13 minutes: 150 words per minute, a pace slightly slow for most spoken videos but acceptable. The first ten seconds are 25 words introducing the channel and thanking subscribers, before any promise; replace with the payoff: In the next ten minutes you will see how to cut your kitchen build time by a week, and the one mistake that adds three. Repetition: the same point about measuring twice appears three times in the middle; cut two. Visual variety: five minutes of uninterrupted talking; add a demonstration at minute five and an on-screen checklist at minute eight. Recap at minute nine. Ending: a long thank-you of 60 words; replace with a clear next step and a related video. Retention graph notes: a drop at 0:30 and at 6:00; matching the intro and the long explanation. Provide a revised opening of under 40 words, three alternative honest titles, and a note on chapters. Remind me that retention advice from a script is a hypothesis to test. Close by testing the revised opening on five viewers from the target audience and recording how many can say what the video will deliver after the first ten seconds, with the share as a percentage and a note that five people give only a rough signal. Keep the old and new versions together so that the next retention graph can be compared with this one.

Invented script: 1,950 words, 13 minutes = 150 words a minute. Opening: 25 words of thanks before any promise. Replace with: "In ten minutes you'll see how to cut your kitchen build by a week, and the one mistake that adds three." Repetition: the "measure twice" point appears three times; cut two. Variety: five minutes of talking with no visual change; add a demo at minute 5 and a checklist at minute 8. Drops at 0:30 and 6:00 match the intro and the long explanation.
